"We are continuing to identify a number of people and vehicles in the street and we would appeal to those who have been in the area between 10.30am and 11.30am on Saturday, October 19  to come forward if we have not yet spoken with you."

"Additional uniformed officers continue to patrol the area for reassurance.

"Please feel free to approach these officers with any concerns you may have."
